Does Adobe deliberately discriminate against the visually impaired?

Hi - I was puzzled by the lack of a file menu bar in the organizer when I recently installed PSE 9. After doing some research with the aid of this and other forums I realized that my having set the Windows 7 text size to 125% triggered an Adobe design flaw. I need a larger text size as I have a visual disability.
One of the most often used links for a "solution" is http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Setting_the_Windows.
To quote some of this reference "Microsoft user-interface standards require applications to support text sizes larger than 100%. This is especially important with the newer, high-resolution displays and for people with aging eyes. Adobe has chosen not to follow the standard."
I would put it in somewhat harsher language - Why does Adobe discriminate against those with visual disabilities? It doesn't make sense when the over-50 crowd is a fast-growing segment of the population.
While one of the suggested work-around's (changing the a setting to use the system font) had no effect, changing the text size to a custom size of 120% made the menu appear. Since the PSE 9 editor menu displays correctly at a setting of 125%, one can only wonder why Adobe would allow such a defect in its organizer software.
I am now aware that Adobe has the 96 dpi limit printed in small type on the box. Note that if you need and use a larger type you can't read this highly unusual limitation. Most people would not readily recognize the implications of such a warning even if they could read it.
I am hoping that this post will provide some incentive for Adobe to make their products more accessible to the visually impaired.

I am in total agreement with your statement. I had mine set to 125% and and it's darkness is overwhelming. Otherwise, you have to feel your way along. The light gray is sickening and no help whatsoever. I M a senior user also, over 75. If I hadn't purchased so many third-party actions and styles--that I actually love--I would say forget it. I am seriously thinking about installing PSE-5 on my new computer.

Accessibility for the visually Impaired - food for thought

Experts,
Some food for thought:
From a technical perspective, all I can imagine of as a solution to deliver accessible applications to visually impaired users of SAP, is an orchestrated screen design and cursor flow with complete keyboard navigability and minimum or zero click sensitivity.
Have TTS/speech driven navigation or other alternatives been introduced in SAP already? If yes, what are the steps to be performed to harness the same in a typical SAP ERP Installation. Please enlighten me.
Also, if you think this post is in the wrong forum, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Does there exist in Belgium voiceover training for imac and ipad for the visually impaired?

I think that everything that he wants to do is very doable. It would be quite a project for someone to take on for him. If it is a popular hymnbook it may well be a welcome blessing/gift of love for many others as well if made available. As I would envision the project it would require either the sacrifice of a copy of the hymnal or the availability of a loose leaf version of the hymnal, so that the individual pages could be taken apart and scanned. The scanned pages could then be assembled into a pdf document that is easily readable on many apps available for the iPad. Better still would be to research if the publishers of the hymnal have not already created an electronic version of the book in pdf format. If the publisher has not already crossed this bridge, then their permission would legally need to be secured before starting such a project of copying their compilation of hymns. Even though they may not own the rights to an old hymn which is now in the public domain, they hold the rights to the layout and composition of the printed pages of their hymnal.
The Accessibilty settings in the iPad itself is capable of enlarging text for the visually impaired, as well as providing white text on a black background.

Feature Request: Guide for the visually impaired.

If this is in the works, then great, if not please consider.
I have family members whereby their eye-sight is far from perfect. Their major problem is reading a small font size. Even on HD TV's and large 32" CRT TV's, they still struggle reading the guide.
It would be great if FiOS can implement a version of the guide with a larger font thats spaced a bit more between letters, and a contrast scheme that would help those visually impaired see the listings better.
Maybe sit down and test configurations with those that are visually impaired and design a version of the guide that can be more comfortably read.

Hi Copota!! Good to hear from you again, thank you for that suggestion I will definitely pass it on. At this present time we cant enlarge the font on the guide, we do offer half screen or full screen guide options and when you select the show in the guide we bring that item slightly forward so that it stands out amongst the others. Thank you for your suggestion, they are appreciated.

IPhone and the visually impaired

I was/am considering buying an iPhone, but due to my severe visual impairment (I am technically registered blind) I thought I would 'try before I buy'. So when I was visiting my brother, we popped along to the Apple store in White City, London. The staff were less than helpful and either treated our close scrutiny of the iPhone with suspicion or else ignored our requests for help opting to deal with 'easier' customers. We left the store feeling useless.
So I am hoping that those not employed by Apple will be a little more helpful.
What accessability options exist, if any, for visually impaired people on the iPhone?
Can text be enlarged, both for app names and in text messages?
Can web pages be enlarged and scrolled?
Is the iTunes interface easy to operate?
Are there any other benefits that the iPhone can offer visually impaired people?
I think these questions cover most of what I wanted to know, just hoped Apple would have a more favourable policy of dealing with those with disabilities.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

How can I control the visual affect with Camera class?

I've checked the document:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/media/Camera.html
But still don't find info on how to control the visual affect(like lightness, saturation and so on) of my pc camera.
Is that kind of job possible with actionscript?

Andrei1 , I'm worried I won't be able to see anything in the dark without setting the camera directly.
Will BitmapData manipulations manage to brighten the darkness exactly?

Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? The new black-on-white color scheme is more difficult to see and use for the visually impaired.

Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? After upgrading to ios 6, the keypad switched to a black-on-white color scheme. I have a severe visual impairment and found the previous white-on-black color scheme much easier to see and use.
The inverted colors option doesn’t make things look all that better. My dad, who does not have any serious vision problems, has put off upgrading his iphone because of the color scheme changes.

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

How do I convert an Adobe pdf file with sound assist for the visually impaired to use the keyboard to play audio?

I am trying to convert an Adobe pdf article file with a play button to an iTunes or other accessible file for people with visual impairments. The file has been converted to a format that has a play button; however, the computer does not have a keyboard stroke that leads to the play button. In other words, the play button isn't integrated into the accessible format; only sighted people can access the play button. The individual is using an Apple laptop.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks!

Tried to restore and update iPhone 3GS, has been in the "verifying restore with apple" stage for an hour. what should i doo?

okay, so lately my iPhone 3GS has been telling me i have no service what so ever for the past two days. But today when i was on the bus going home from school, i had perfect service and everything until i got close to my house (to clarify, i live somewhat far out from the center of town, and my school is right in the middle of town.. didnt know if that would affect anything). So then i asked my Dad about it and he reccomended restoring and updating my phone to see if it helped because im a couple updates behind. So i plugged it in, backed it up, and began to restore and update it. All was well until it got to the "verifying the restore with apple" stage. I was watching the rose bowl and not paying attention while it was on, but remembered that it started that stage at the beginning of the game. Now the game just ended 5 or 10 minutes ago and lasted a goood hour, hour an a half, and its still verifying!! i dont know what to do... HELP!

Did you check the security software settings? iTunes has to be able to contact Apple during the update process: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues
